PODCAST: Dr. Alex Jimenez, chiropractor in El Paso, TX, and Dr. Marius Ruja, chiropractor in El Paso, TX, discuss how our immune system can help maintain our health during these COVID-19 times. Inflammation is the immune system's natural response to protect the human body from injury, infection, and illness.
